Hallo, I am actually a botanist and recently came upon a statement in a graduate's report: Chocolate was around 1500BC in Egypt! Anybody else caught up with this unlikely rumour? Any proof? Of course everyone knows that the Egyptians and the Mayas were in constant contact....

Chocolate was not used in AE.
It was not seen in the Old World until it was brought there by the conquest of Mexico/South America.
It takes a big stretch of the imagination to think that the Maya and the AE were in contact.
